Babelsberg Film Park – a touch of Hollywood

Babelsberg Film Park is located within the state-of-the-art Babelsberg media city in Potsdam, the state capital of the Brandenburg region. The park is especially popular among families with children, and boasts so many attractions that you can easily spend the whole day here.

Nothing is quite as it seems in the world of cinema! Visitors to Babelsberg Film Park get to glimpse behind the scenes and discover the tricks and meticulous attention to detail that go into making a film. How do stunts work? What does the work of a make-up artist involve? How is the Sandman brought to life on screen? At the film park you can get up close and see for yourself. Set design, camera techniques and animation: every stage of production is on show here, turning wide-eyed viewers into all-knowing insiders. You can even join the team by presenting the weather forecast or having a moment in the spotlight as a stand-in – the pros will show you how it's done. There's plenty to keep little ones entertained too: with the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, the jungle playground, Radio Teddy's glass-walled studio and boat trips in Panama - Janosch's Dreamland, children (and grown-ups) are spoilt for choice. If you have never been to Babelsberg Film Park before, a guided studio tour comes highly recommended. It's a great way to discover the media city in its entirety.
